TRUE LOVE TUESDAY: LOVE IS ENOUGH

What I have learned in the course of my big extraordinary life so far is LOVE IS ENOUGH.

For all the madness in the world LOVE IS ENOUGH to heal, restore, and change hearts and minds. But I don't have to look to the world for examples of madness, chaos and drama. I can look at my community or my family, and in my own life. I have decided a long time ago when I started on this journey of personal discovery and enlightenment that love will be the strongest foundation to build upon. LOVE IS ENOUGH and I have found evidence and examples of that over and over again. It is my best belief.

My love and friend of 35 years is struggling with his life choices. He is pushing forward with a plan that does not allow for love. He is determined to retreat from the world to find solitude and peace. I told him I do not have the luxury of running away. I have to be accountable to 4 little angels who need me 24/7. That seemed to give him food for thought. I could see his mind turning. You see I said If your heart and mind aren't free it doesn't matter where you do time...it is still prison. Discontent in our spirit colors everything. It affects how we interact with each other. It messes with our sensibilities. When we truly choose to believe LOVE IS ENOUGH then our lives can become what we dreamed. We press forward knowing that we have all we need for the journey ahead and we can stand in this moment with a full heart.

He knows God has sent him to me because I know something about living with a full heart. God sent him to me because I know something about overcoming despair. God sent him to me because I know and believe LOVE IS ENOUGH.
